Hello teamies! I’m not feeling great today, but a lot better than yesterday. Thanks for all of the well wishes! I overate my calories yesterday and didn’t get my exercise in, but I really needed the rest so I’m not gonna stress about it. TOM is around the corner too – I believe, so a loss may not be in the cards for me this week.
Ruth – Sleeping better is always a plus! Way to go on staying on plan and exercising.
Naia – Way to go on 62 minutes of exercise! It really does help to have someone to report to! I crochet some. It’s kind of cyclical where I crochet a lot for a while and then need a break. I have a baby blanket to get done by December so maybe I need to pick that back up!
Roni – Brrrrr!
Andi – It’s amazing how much I consider what’s going in my mouth when I have to log everything! I find myself reconsidering snacks all of the time. Way to go on the early morning exercising!
Monte - It’s great that you’ve been running regularly! Can’t wait to hear the results of your measurements after a month!
Eny – that darned “dreaded week 2”! Ugh! Hang in there!
Lonnie – sorry you aren’t feeling well. Way to go on the workout!
Melissa -
on the hula hoop! You aren’t called the Hula Hoop Queen for nothing! Way to keep it to one trip to the grill yesterday!
Carol – Uh Oh! What’s the drama with the trainer? I hope you get it figured out soon!
Isabella – I know that most of the hula hoops in the stores are sized for children. If you have the wrong size, it’s harder to do. Mel can verify but I believe the hoop needs to come up to between your belly button and chest in order to be the right size for you. I am curious Mel if there are any other tips to keep it up (besides lots of practice)
Chrissie – Congrats on the loss this week! You should be proud of the 16.4 lbs since July also!
Mandey -
at the bagel thing. I’m glad I’m not the only one who does that from time to time!
Shawski – Don’t beat yourself up for your current swimming level. It’s great that you’re getting back into it. Just imagine if you keep with it how much better you’ll become! You’re taking a step in the right direction. Keep with it and you’ll be rocking that pool in no time!
Lisa – You can stay in control with your food today! I believe in you! I do the same thing with my weight – I’ll have 2 or 3 bad weeks and then drop a larger number every few weeks. It can be frustrating, but being aware is half the battle! I think your plan to walk to lunch is a great idea! Keep us posted on how it went!
Ronda – I’m sorry that you had a rough night. I’ve really struggled with the all or nothing mentality also. That all or nothing mentality cost me about 5 years of no weight loss. The thing is that you don’t have to be perfect which is a hard concept for those of us who tend to be perfectionists. Someone on 3fc has this quote in their signature and I have copied it for my refrigerator.
It’s not about perfection, it’s about consistency. I fully admit that I struggle with this everyday, but I’m not letting the perfectionist inside of me win this battle. I am worth fighting for and so are you! Hang in there! We’re here for you.
Mindy – that open faced tomato sandwich sounds good!
Cat – I’ve been staying in my calorie range for the most part, but haven’t been making the healthiest of choices. I need to start thinking more about quality food. (though I do enjoy an occasional pizza
) Good luck on regaining control for the remainder of the week!
Yelie –
for “Yelie Day.” That’s awesome! I hope you are enjoying your new look!
I WILL CONQUER THIS WEEK!
